Summary
They speak at length, every single day, in and out. All they do is talk, and not just about their pain and forgiveness. About the work left on the house, about their pasts, about their old life and their hopes for their new life. Stede believes Ed knows him best, inside and out, surely, and he would hope Ed would say the same about him. They revel in conversation, in paid compliments, in laughter, in flirtatious words and necking.
It simply doesn’t translate to the sex. Sex is quiet and serious and routine. And Stede’s not sure he has any right to be slightly put out about that. And since Stede’s not sure how he should be feeling, he’s not really sure how to put it into words. Ed always makes him so comfortable, makes him feel beautiful and adored, makes him believe in himself. This one little thing shouldn’t be that difficult to discuss.
--
Or: Stede is blissfully happy with Ed and their new home. He's just got some simple concerns! About their sex life! No big deal!

Stede offers himself up to the Dread Pirate Blackbeard in exchange for freeing the rest of his people.

Summary
Hallmark style christmas modern day AU, in which Stede’s online friend Ed turns out to be living in the same tiny town as him (what are the odds? very high apparently), where snow and Christmas lights have turned the romance up to a relentless level. Fluff, and only a little, very quickly resolved angst when Stede doesn’t know with all these new feelings, and then sex.
--
These last three winters have all been great in terms of weather. Lots of snow, ice skating. Something that hadn’t really been the case in over a decade in this town. This December, it’s the same. It’s well below freezing, Christmas lights are casting their glow over the snow, and the air is crisp. It feels like the beginning of a new life for Stede, and he’s going to romanticize the shit out of it.

Summary
Ever since their chance meeting thanks to an impulsively booked trip to Finland, Ed and Stede have never been happier. Some people might think that they went too fast, with Stede moving to Finland to be with Ed and the two of them getting engaged after knowing each other less than a month, but they're far past listening to what anyone else tells them to do. They know they're soulmates, and they have a home and a happily married life together and are still going strong a year and a half after they first met in a snowstorm rescue.
But married life presents its own new set of challenges, things that Ed and Stede have never navigated before. Up until meeting, they were both used to being alone, and as they grow and learn now both as individuals and as a couple, they discover that life doesn't stop after the happily ever after.

“Hey, hi love,” Ed gets out back, walloped by the sound of his voice.
...
In which Ed is forced to be apart from Stede for an agonising week and a half, has a bad time, pines terribly, makes some friends of the human and non-human variety, cries, eats an inadvisable amount of sugar, cries some more, and is the recipient of a dashing rescue.

Summary
Every morning starts the same for Stede Bonnet; the monotony of it all having grown so numb that he doesn't even seem to realise he's carrying out a well-rehearsed act with every passing day.
A stormy night brings two lonely souls together, entwining them in a way neither of them could have ever predicted.
This is a one-shot modern AU very vaguely inspired by A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. Please heed the tags.

Summary
How it kept happening, Ed didn’t know. But for some reason, every deity of luck had decided that he got to see Stede Bonnet almost every time they made landfall.
He didn’t know what he had done to deserve this—maybe the universe was rewarding him for saving the world in a previous life or trying to make it up to him for his childhood—but he was not going to complain.
***
Where Edward Teach is 20 years old when he first meets Stede Bonnet, and they become friends with benefits (and a lot of feelings) through the years until Stede goes to sea.
